Qingjiang River Gallery Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Mar)
Yichang , China 2018 🇨🇳
We cruised through the Three Gorges and found them beautiful and fascinating to see. Our trip included a small boat excursion up a side channel, which was quite lovely. The scenery reminded me somewhat of the Milford Sound, with the mountains plunging directly into the river. The water level was raised about 170 meters by the dam project, displacing 1.3 million residents.
Three Lesser Gorges
From the boat we transferred to a ferry and then when the gorges became smaller as we headed up stream we switched to a sampan. There is little doubt that some of the attractions along the sampan tour are staged but that doesn't mean they are bad and the scenery is pretty special. The cliff burial caves are also interesting

A dazzling pearl on the Yangtze River, the beauty of Qingjiang Gallery is beyond description
The Qingjiang River is the mother river of the Tujia people, flowing generously like a blue ribbon from the west, creating a marvelous natural landscape that is both river and lake.
The unique karst topography on both banks features towering peaks that pierce the sky; within the lake, hundreds of emerald-like islands are scattered like stars, shining like green pearls. The waters of the Qingjiang are vast and misty, resembling the deep and secluded paths of a high gorge lined with green forests...
It is said that Qingjiang possesses the grandeur of the Yangtze River's Three Gorges, the clarity of Guilin's Li River, and the elegance of Hangzhou's West Lake. The scenery is boundless, and its beauty is incomparable...
The mountains of Qingjiang, the waters of Qingjiang, the clouds of Qingjiang, the people of Qingjiang... all blend together to form a culture that is ever-flowing, vast and profound, like poetry, like painting, like a dream, like a song...
A secluded paradise independent of the world

The Qingjiang River is a pearl of the Yangtze River, 'With water so clear for ten fathoms, people see its purity and thus it is named Qingjiang.' It originates from Longdonggou in Lichuan City in western Hubei, flows through Enshi, Changyang, and Badong, and enters the Yangtze River at Yidu City, with a total length of 423 kilometers, earning the reputation of 'Eight hundred li of Qingjiang River as picturesque as a painting.' The Qingjiang water area that flows through Changyang is about 148 kilometers long. In 1994, the Geheyan Hydropower Station was built on the Qingjiang River, 11 kilometers west of the county town Longzhouping. The dam is 165 meters long and 150 meters high.

During the once-in-a-century flood of the Yangtze River in 1998, the Geheyan Dam made a significant contribution to water storage and flood diversion.

Three Gorges Dam Tourist Area Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Mar)
Really, do I need to go through security check to visit the Three Gorges Dam?
There are three viewing points open to tourists in the Three Gorges Dam tourist area: Tanziling, 185 Platform, and the Stream-Cutting Memorial Park.
So how to visit correctly and save time? There are generally two ways to visit:
1. Independent travel. Drive or choose other means of transportation to reach the scenic spot. Among them, self-driving tourists need to apply for a pass at the reception station with relevant documents according to regulations when driving into the Three Gorges dedicated road.
2. Three Gorges cruise ship, the project included in the cruise ship includes the Three Gorges Dam tourist area. Now let's talk about the overall visit process:
First of all, the ticket, the Three Gorges Dam tourist area is a free scenic spot, there is no ticket fee, tourists only need to pay for their own transportation and sightseeing car fees (round-trip transportation car 35, sightseeing car 30).
1. This is due to the special nature of the dam scenic spot, no matter which way you enter, you need to change to the tourist center's round-trip bus to go to the core scenic spot.
2. Similarly, here, security checks will be conducted on tourists, and some items that are not allowed to be brought in can be stored in the tourist center, and can be picked up after the tour is over.
First stop: Tanziling. Tanziling is the highest point overlooking the Three Gorges Project. When you climb to the 5A-level tourist scenic spot Tanziling viewing point, you can overlook the entire Three Gorges Project and experience the heroic feelings of the poem 'Cut off Wushan clouds and rain, high gorges out of Pinghu'.
Second stop: 185 Platform. As the name suggests, it is because the dam is 185 meters high. From Tanziling to the 185 platform, you can walk there in about fifteen minutes, or you can choose to take an electric car for 10 yuan; looking down from the 185 platform, you can feel the greatness and pride of the Chinese nation and enter the near-dam viewing point, where you can feel the majestic and magnificent dam at close range.
Third stop: Stream-Cutting Memorial Park. Come to the Stream-Cutting Memorial Park to appreciate the perfect combination of man and nature, as if you are in the beautiful scenery of 'mountains and rivers connected, heaven and man united'. The Stream-Cutting Memorial Park is the first domestic water conservancy project theme park with the theme of the Three Gorges Project's stream-cutting, integrating sightseeing, popular science, leisure and other functions.
Some small tips:
1. There is a Three Gorges ship lift inside the dam, where you can experience the feeling of the ship rising with the water. If you are self-driving, it is recommended to book and purchase online in advance; if you are on a Three Gorges cruise ship, you can ask the ship to help buy it.
2. The scenic area is still relatively large, it is recommended to wear comfortable shoes to play, self-driving friends need to consult the scenic area in advance, bring relevant documents for registration and inspection.
3. The Three Gorges Dam tourist area is a very educational place, I hope that all friends who go to visit can calm down, appreciate this world-famous water conservancy project, see the great tools of the great country, and be proud of the motherland!
Yichang self-driving two-day tour
Nanny-level strategy!.
💫I stayed at the Kerry Select River View Hotel on the night, next to Wanda. Many hotels play the "river view" feature. The front desk service of this hotel is particularly worth mentioning, their enthusiasm and politeness make me feel warm💞. When asking them to send items, the interaction is full of friendly greetings, and there will be no embarrassment at all. The price is affordable, and you can drive in and out for free all day until 11:45 the next morning. If it is overdue, you only need to ask the front desk to swipe the card, which is convenient and easy! To the Cool Gallery, Three Gorges Dam, Three Gorges People, all within 1 hour's drive, the scenery along the way is unparalleled😍.
💫However, be aware! The Three Gorges Waterfall has been closed due to recent heavy rains, and we still cannot enter after buying tickets😫. Please be sure to call the scenic spot or pay attention to its public account to inquire about the opening situation before going.
💫As for the Cool Gallery, we chose Line B, with a total price of 135 yuan/person, including tickets and boat tickets. After climbing the mountain to enjoy the beautiful scenery of the mountains, then take a boat back, easy and joyful😂! We arrived at more than 2 pm and took the boat at 4 pm, which was convenient and fast. Warm reminder: The last boat is at 4:30 in the afternoon, don't miss it. Line B can climb mountains and take boats, recommended👍.
💫Before going to the Three Gorges Dam, don't forget to apply for a vehicle pass on the public account, otherwise it will be very troublesome to get off halfway😓. I made an appointment in advance, and it was basically released immediately as soon as a batch was opened. Note that the post is guarded by armed police, do not take pictures, otherwise you will be seriously questioned and checked.
💫The Three Gorges Dam has clear road signs to guide tourists to the bus transfer center. Don't be fooled by the roadside cattle. They will guide you off the right path and recommend buying high-priced tickets. We chose a ticket for 65 yuan, which can take the scenic area bus. You can also choose to take an electric car, the price is reasonable but shorter, walking is also good, about 15 minutes🚶♂️. The place to buy tickets is not far away, and you can feel more fun by exploring on your own, study more strategies, and avoid unnecessary expenses.
💫For dinner, we tasted Wang's cold shrimp, which tasted okay. But if you are not in love with this kind of food, you may not be able to notice the difference between its cold shrimp and others. Enjoy food in "Daijie Restaurant", simple but delicious, overall full and return. Pepper chicken🍗, scrambled eggs with leeks🥚, beef offal hot pot🥘, stir-fried amaranth🥗, fat intestine silk, all down only 252 yuan. A big highlight is that the business is booming. If you come late, you may need to wait. It is recommended to reserve a seat in advance to free up space. Don't forget to park your car on the side of the road🚗.

Yichang Tianzhushan | Above the mountains, clouds and mist entwine
Yichang Tianzhushan is located 50 meters north of County Road 214 in Changyang Tujia Autonomous County, Yichang City, Hubei Province, 💟💟💟 the Tianzhushan of Changyang Tujia Autonomous County in Yichang. The religion of Tianzhushan is Taoism, which belongs to the Wudang sect, and is part of the Central Wudang.
For sightseeing, it is recommended to go on a cloudy day or a clear morning, where you can see a sea of clouds. When we went there, the weather was cloudy, and the layers of clouds were very distinct, creating a feeling as if we were in a fairyland.
In July, the mountaintop is very cool, and watching the sea of clouds from the highest peak makes one feel very calm. After the clouds disperse, you can also see the Qingjiang Gallery. The charm of nature is just so instantaneous!!!
We hiked up and down the mountain by ourselves, exercising our bodies, breathing fresh air, and seeing beautiful scenery. On the way up the mountain, there are various plants to learn about, such as wild kiwifruit, and many types of moss (some moss even flowers).
❤️❤️❤️ The ticket price in July is 40 RMB per person. For me personally, it is the most cost-effective scenic spot ticket.
Caution ⚠️
It's best to bring ice claws
If driving, bring anti-skid chains
Bring gloves | Gloves are needed for gripping the iron chains when descending stairs
Bring a walking stick | To prevent slipping
The exercise intensity is not high | No need to wear a special storm jacket
Just wear a short, warm one
After climbing, you can go to Barenzhai for a meal, the taste is quite good
